      military.&nbsp; I noticed that an RSL on around 107 was being
      effectively blotted out everywhere.&nbsp; A combination of two audio
      sources revealed that the problem was an ILR transmitter on the
      Croydon mast, it was fixed when I pointed it out to NTL.&nbsp;
      Presumably no one had noticed it. I didn't like to mention it to
      the RSL people who had been claiming a wide audience for their

                  <div class="ecxmoz-cite-prefix">Not having been
                    involved in RSLs (short) for some time I note from
                    other comments that there still seem to be problems
                    (such frequencies and early cut off dates) which
                    have been around since the Home Office ran the
                    scheme.&nbsp; The history of radio links provision has
                    had similar issues which were mainly dealt with by
                    providing more spectrum, in common with mobiles,
                    etc., primarily in city areas.&nbsp; This pro-active
                    approach has been sadly lacking in the broadcast
                    bands, possibly because of the need to pretend that
                    there is a spectrum shortage.&nbsp; Out sourcing has
                    usually been on the basis of fixed cleared
                    frequencies in licensed bands so presumably this
                    would need to be around 87-88 megs.&nbsp; Standard issue
                    kit in this sub band has already been implemented
                    (radio cracker) so it would be feasible.&nbsp; A further
                    point - has anyone been consulted about these
                    changes to licence conditions?<br>
